I have a point of order, Presiding Officer, on which I will be brief. I seek your guidance on whether I should ask permission to move a motion without notice. I can do so now or tomorrow, if that would be more convenient. The motion that I seek to move concerns the outcome of today’s debate on the Scottish variable rate of income tax. I propose that all the papers relating to the debate should be sent to our two previous Presiding Officers asking them whether they will give us a commentary on everything that happened.
It is at the discretion of the Presiding Officer to take a motion without notice. I am not minded to accept it at this point in time. Please think about the matter overnight and come back to it tomorrow, Ms MacDonald.
